First light!

Not sure if the official "first light" should be something really pretty, stacked, processed, Photoshopped, then proudly displayed. These are just some rough "test images" while I work out guiding issues. I did take a series of M33 that are probably good enough to stack and tweak, but I'll get to that next.
Last night I was able to find comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy at 10.5 magnitude quite easily, so things are running well enough to find the dim fuzzies!
